Hey I am very new to php, my first real php coding was this site. www.rwwr.com. But now I have a need to use access databases with php tp create a used car listing site. I don't want to use MySQL because its an extra charge on my server. Is there a way that I can access and access database in my cgi-bin? If so how? I need the commands to open it and a basic idea of what I can do when I'm in there. I can figure the rest out by playing with it but I just don't know how to open the database. Thanks.
Have you tried: http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/siddarth20000228.php3 specifically http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/siddarth20000228.php3?page=5
Are you trying to open a connection to a local or remote Access database or are you trying to open a .mdb file in your cgi bin???? Could you clarify?
PS I assume you are NOT wanting to do the later as the mere concept is ludicrous ;-)
